Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: There's so much to love about Ex-Aid. I guess my favorite part of it would be the story. As for worst, it's not necessarily something the show is doing now, but rather a potential direction it MIGHT take in that because they've already done so much with the story early on, I fear that we may see heavy amounts of filler during the middle portion.


Kamen Rider Ghost: I'm not going to totally bash Ghost. It had some things going for it. My favorite part of it is Alain, at least for the moments where he wasn't just another Takeru cheerleader. I know I'm only limited to one, but I'd like to give an honorable mention to Akari for also being a not-useless female lead. The worst part is by far Onari, who might go down as one of the most hated characters in Rider history for me, personally.


Kamen Rider Amazons: I love this show with a passion. Best part of it is definitely the characters for me. Worst part is how woefully underutilized Sigma was. I was hoping he'd be the big bad from his first appearance onwards, like Shadow Moon.

Re-watch: The only Rider show I can remember rewatching this year was Kabuto, which has been a fun watch.

The Fake Leather: Zombie Genm is definitely taking the cake for me at the moment. That suit design is amazing. Worst? Probably Mach Deadheat. A really lazy form that doesn't seem to have any cohesion between the Drive and Mach portions. Drive slightly gets the edge since his helmet doesn't have a Leno chin on it.

Henshin Belt: Faiz will forever be the king in this area just for how practical the driver looks and how orgasmic the voice is. I love you Kuuga, but your belt is just all sorts of boring.

Weapon: The Gashacon Bugvisor gets credit for being both a henshin device AND a weapon with some awesome sounds. Worst is that lame ass Gan Gun whatever you call it that they gave Necrom. Alain deserved better than that for being the best character in Ghost.

The Vroom-vroom-vrooms: Best bike is Lazer because he's freakin' Lazer. Worst is the Machine Ghoststriker for having a boring color scheme and only showing up in like 3 episodes.

Villains: It's tough deciding between the Roidmudes and the Sonozakis, but I'm going to go with the Roidmudes because of Heart alone. Worst is Ganma because half of them would randomly disappear for several episodes, only to come back and do absolutely nothing until the plot remembered that they existed. Even worse, they lazily and half-assedly tried to redeem all of the high-ranking Ganma in the end, even though they were unapologetic assholes up until the last 5 episodes of the show.

Merch: I only collect SHFiguarts. By far my favorite Rider figuart was Amazon Alpha. Not only is Alpha an awesome design, but he's also an awesome character. Really though, I could have chosen a bunch of Figuarts for this category. Worst? IDK, maybe Necrom, even though I still really like the figure. He just has a really low accessory count.

Movie Taisen: Honestly, I can't remember any of them too well to have strong opinions on them.

Epilogues: Same as above

The Battlecry: Armor Zone is AWESOME. I cannot stop listening to it. Sorry Ghost but you gotta take another L here. Your theme is just unfathomably cheesy.
